Okay, I swear to god I already replied to this entry, but I came back to snag another icon and realized I hadn't, SO HERE GOES AND I'M SORRY IT'S LATE:

I loooove that we both framed the cap for one. I found it fairly easy to work with, which was surprising because I didn't think it'd be so quick. 2! Two is so light! So airy! As soon as I saw it I was like, "aaaaaaaaaw, shouldn't have coloured mine." It works SO well, imo. three! Love the crop! I've worked with this cap a few times and found it hard to ~reinvent it, but this was so lovely. Dig the vibrancy on 4 so much. I went so pale on it and you managed a great rich coloring with it. I love the use of textures! 6 is perfect. I love your light blobs and I love the mix of colors and frames on it.

My second favorite is definitely eight. I don't even. It is so eye-catching and I love how you matched the colors to the characters and UGH I JUST CAN'T. It's the best on any level of composition, certainly. It's so flaw-free, tbh. 9 is just my favorite. The crop, the airyness, the lightness, the coloring, I just hate you for producing it. I uploaded that one straight off, lol. It's really beautiful. I think it's one of my few favorites of this month.

Ohmygod, this comment ;_; ♥ THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate you taking the time to give such detailed and thoughtful and awesomely positive and encouraging feedback. Also omg you like 8, makes me really glad I went with my gut on that one while my head was trying to tell me it was too weird, hee. And whoa your amazing comments of 9, well my brain refuses to process them properly because soooo flattering I can't possibly deserve that but thank you so much anyway!
